Usage
This template formats IPA transcriptions and links them to WP:IPA for English. The transcription should match the conventions of that key; for narrower dialect transcriptions, use {{IPA-all}}, which links to a more complete IPA key.
The first parameter in the template is for the transcription, and a second optional parameter is a switch that controls the wording introducing the transcription. With no second value, the introduction English pronunciation: appears:
{{IPA-en|n}}→ English pronunciation: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".{{IPA-en|n|pron}}→ pronounced Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".{{IPA-en|n|lang}}→ English: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".{{IPA-en|n|local}}→ locally Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".{{IPA-en|n|IPA}}→ IPA: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".{{IPA-en|n|UK}}→ UK: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".{{IPA-en|n|US}}→ US: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".{{IPA-en|n|}}→ Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".
Any of these may be combined with a sound file in an optional third parameter:
{{IPA-en|n|local|En-us-'n'.ogg}}→ locally Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".
To use the default introductory wording when a third parameter is used, a placeholder such as ‹-› (something that does not match any of the above switches) is required in the second parameter:
{{IPA-en|n|-|En-us-'n'.ogg}}→ English pronunciation: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".
or the third parameter must be explicitly numbered:
{{IPA-en|n|3=En-us-'n'.ogg}}→ English pronunciation: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[".
